Let's Honor the Real Warriors

By Ramone Romero and Rob SchmidtRecently Native American mascots have generated a lot of controversy. Apparently some Indians (67% according to a recent poll) don’t care for the honor this country has bestowed on them. This has sparked anger and conflict across the land.
